Omaha, NE

Yesterday morning (Sat.) we left the Americas Best Campground in Branson traveling north on US-65 to Springfield, MO Where we went northwest on MO-13 & MO-71 to Kansas City. In and around Springfield we saw a lot of trees down and a few buildings that had been destroyed in the turbulent thunder storms that had gone through the area Fri. morning. After crossing the Missouri river at Kansas city you leave the Ozarks and travel through the rich rolling farm land and the flat Missouri river bottoms along I-29. Along the route we began to see corn that was out of the ground in fact some fields it was big enough that there was a green cast to the field. This is so different from most years when you would normally see corn up to 12 inches high. After entering Iowa we turned west on US-2 through Nebraska City and on west toward Lincoln were we turned north on US-50 traveling through the rich rolling farmlands of south eastern NE. We arrived at the West Omaha KOA in Gretna, NE where are parked for a few days to visit relatives in the Omaha area.
